Botox and Dermal Fillers are excellent tools for a practitioner to address fine lines and lost volume in the face. However the effectiveness of these tools, much like a brush in the hands of an artist, depends on the skill of the practitioner.

A truly talented practitioner is experienced, knowledgeable of Botox and Dermal filler’s capabilities, and has a perceptive eye. Just as an artist does not simply throw paint on a canvas, a skilled practitioner does not just use Botox and dermal fillers to simply “fill in” areas.

A skilled artistic practitioner will be able to provide non-surgical lifts, contour and definition that will enhance the features of a patient. They will be able to use the right tools or products to achieve the most natural results.

Botox paralyzes the muscle, therefore removing the muscles ability to form wrinkles or fine lines. Using Botox, a skilled practitioner is able to inject into specific muscles in order to correct a gummy smile or provide a subtle brow lift; arching the brow and correcting slightly hooded eyes.

Dermal Fillers from Juvederm and Teosyal truly allow the practitioner to shape and sculpt. Having knowledge of both Juvederm and Teosyal products, their viscosity, and the anatomy of the face, a practitioner is able to make the best choice to provide beautiful results for their individual patient.

Dermal fillers can be used to replace bone that has been lost with age, contouring and shaping a jawline or cheekbone, provided a natural younger visage without puffiness. In addition lips can have their vermillion border defined or have the cupid’s bow accentuated.

When you looking for a practitioner, don’t look for one with only experience, but that views Botox and Dermal Fillers as artist tools. Looking to provide their patient with an attractive and natural look they will feel confident with.

While men request more angular cheeks, with a well-defined jaw line, women tend to request a less angular look with fuller and rounder cheeks.

Cheek augmentation is a popular facial enhancement procedure that can be done by a variety of methods to attain an improved cheek contour, such as surgical implants or non-surgical dermal fillers.

Cheek implants have been around for over three decades and come in a wide variety of styles and sizes however require surgery, and some recovery time.

Cheek implants leave no obvious external scarring, because all surgical incisions are made inside the mouth and in the scalp. The procedure requires the plastic surgeon to place a silicone implant above the existing bone. Once these are put into place, if a patient is unhappy or wishes to move the implant it will require surgery once again to remove them.

The key element in male cheekbone augmentation is to have a highly placed cheek implant that creates more of an angular look rather than one that rounds out the entire cheekbone. Since implants come in different shapes and sizes, they can be customized to your face and bone structure.

Some patients will benefit from bony augmentation, while others may require soft tissue enhancement due to hollowness from natural aging in the malar area.

Dermal Fillers on the other hand can be a less invasive alternative, as it does not require surgery and can easily be done in less than 30 minutes. Fillers are easier to customize, and have a fraction of the swelling, and allow the patient to participate in the sculpting of their face and can be placed exactly where the augmentation is desired.

Dermal Fillers can build on the bony pyramid of the cheek in order to rapidly provide anterior or lateral projection. The main disadvantage to a nonsurgical cheek augmentation is that it has to be maintained by repeated injections every 9 to 12 months.

Even if you were born with naturally perfect cheekbones, aging and gravity can cause cheek muscles to atrophy contributing to a downward fall throughout the lower part of the face and neck.

With age loss comes bone loss. The fatty tissue that normally drapes over the cheekbones can begin to flatten and fall with gravity. The result is less prominent cheekbones . This drop can cause a droopy fold of skin the nose and the cheek (the nasolabial fold).

It can be disheartening to watch your appearance change over time and you can become quite self-conscious about your facial appearance

If cosmetic surgery is not your choice, then dermal fillers for cheeks are a fantastic way of framing and defining your face and instantly taking years off your appearance.

Many patients who undergo non-invasive cheekbone enhancement also notice an enhancement of other features as a result, as high cheekbones can highlight all the right places.

There are multiple areas of the cheeks, the cheek bones, midface, submalar, zygomatic arch, buccal, and cheek-troughs. All of these areas can be injected to create a higher more youthful lifted cheekbone area.

How great is it to have filler specifically designed for your cheeks that can last up to 2 years?

VOLUMA by Juvederm Is constructed specifically to provide a lifting effect and is the first filler to receive an indication from the FDA for the cheek area. Specifically, it is indicated for “age-related volume loss in the cheek.”
